Wanting to learn more about Reiki

[seishinmahou]

So after hearing about Reiki and looking it up on Youtube (yeah I know... but there is a series from eHow with a Reiki master in it) I've grown very curious about Reiki.

I've been able to use the same concepts in solving my own minor aches and pains and to help my boyfriend with his shoulder pain, but I think I can do a lot more.

However, watching that series on Youtube and researching, I found out that you need a process called Attunement.

I'm super interested in going through this. I may never be able to dedicate the time to become a Reiki master (as you need to center your life around Reiki) but I want to become more skilled so I can help others.

There is a vet in my area that uses Reiki on her patients, and I think one of the vets I work with who recently received her ceritifcation in Acupuncture is also pursuing Reiki.

Anyway... any advice or info would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

what is reiki and how does it feel?

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.the best thing about reiki is that u don't feel any dizziness or tiredness after it u are just acting as a medium of healing.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. The recipient of Reiki need not study, understand or believe in its power and beauty. In fact, the recipient need not be awake while receiving the energy. Reiki energy always delivers the highest good. Considering the source, how could it do anything else? The only prerequisite is that the recipient, on a soul level, really wants to heal. The positive effects of Reiki energy could be quick and dramatic, or, take time to be noticed. The results are unpredictable and pleasantly surprising. One simply needs to trust in the intelligent nature of the source. An acute power of observation would be handy, only to affirm its often subtle life changes and effects


there are 4 degrees of reiki out of which 2 are mainly use for healing.First degree is used for self healing and 2nd degree for distant healing.


1st degree

Before learning I want u to notice your hands and flow of energy.
Just do a normal cleaning before starting practicing although its not a necessary but I feel it helps in flow of energy.

Now hold your hands and say thanks to all those people whom you love and to Dr Usui
Now say these affirmations
“Just for today I will live
The attitude of gratitude
Just for today I will not worry
Just for today I will not be angry
Just for today I will not lie
Just for today I will show
Love and respect
For every living creature”

Now keep your hands in slightly curved position one over the another with your power hand touching the part of your body u want to heal and other hand just above it or near it


keep your hands in same position for some time like 4-5 minutes and imagine that energy in flowing from your hands to the person whom you are healing.it might take more time depending upon the cause of pain and disease.try healing yourself first try opening your chakras by giving reiki to them for 2-3 minutes or more each chakra. after practicing 1st degree for at least 21 days u can proceed to the 2nd degree.


for headache keep your hands on your 3rd eye,hara chakra ,sloar pluxes and on back of your head similarly heal your painful area just by keeping hands at that position



sorry i was little busy so coudnt reply earlire

This is so interesting! I often feel energy flowing through my hands when I'm out in the woods walking or sometimes just sitting and thinking about it. It's good to know that, with training, I may be able to use this energy to help someone! Thanks for the info!

Thanks!! There is still so much to learn, like where the chakras are and which hand is my power hand (I'm ambidextrous, but I've lost the ability to write with my left hand because in Kindergarten the teacher told me it was a sign of the devil and to be "normal" and write only with my right hand)?

Thanks so much! What about the Attunement?

Both of my aunt's sons were born with a degenerative brain disease called CACH (childhood ataxia with central hypomyelination--a type of leukodystrophy). The first son was treated with modern medicines only and he died at ten, the second son was treated with not only modern medicine but also reiki and he lived to about fifteen with a much greater quality of life before his death. It was amazing to see the power of reiki on even the terminally ill.

Yeah, I've heard many great things about Reiki and it goes along with my spiritual beliefs perfectly. I hope that I can learn to use the power of Reiki so that one day I can help my mom. She's been a heavy smoker since her youth and her doctor told her that if she doesn't cut back that it'll make her heart condition dire. That and she'll probably get lung cancer eventually from it so I want to be there to help since she's, well, my mom and has been there for me for years.

attunements are promises that u make to ur self before starting healing with reiki. reiki is a completely pure form of energy and it cannot be used for causing any harm u dont have to worry about chakras just start trying ti and everything would be f9 and just google about ckaras u will find their positions........

[seishinmahou]

Thanks! I will research further! I just thought that attunement had to be conducted on a trainee by a master first. Thanks again!

its better if u can find a reiki master to teach u but reiki can be develouped without it too........
